Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I think my original point was quite clear: It is not a good or would not be a good idea to raise again the issue of the greek war time loan. You won't achieve anything and it is principally not a good idea to open issues from world war two and upset the post war order. europs needed log enough to construct one.

What is so complicated about that position?  

"Apart from turning a reasonable discussion that might even be "

That is your standard of a reasonable discussion? Full of nationalism and bad history and accusations of bad faith?

I haven't said anything about Greece entering the euro with false numbers (irrelevant) or greek defaults (irrelevant) or the Morgenthau plan (irrelevant).

If we could for once discuss what my acrtual point was. that would be helpful.

If you could slow down and understand others' positions, and stop charging around shooting from the hip with supposed rebuttals that are simply insults to other peoples' intelligence, that would be more than helpful.

I do understand the position of others , I just think they are (partially) wrong.

 "that are simply insults to other peoples' intelligence,"

And o so clever movie quotes aren't much of an argument.

I'm not going through this thread amassing quotes from you that are insults to other users' attempts to discuss reasonably. They are all there for everyone to see.

Please go and read ETiquette.
